Large numbers of children need emergency medical treatment each year for respiratory illnesses, particularly for wheezing and asthma.
This study investigates the impact of measuring adherence and providing feedback on medication usage by children with unstable asthma.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of different macro-environments on asthma genotype-phenotype associations in 2 geographically separated populations
